Riding home from work on a bicycle a week before college, Dr. Johnson was struck by a vehicle in a hit and run accident. He suffered from broken front teeth and a fractured jaw, just a few days after having his braces removed.Because of the injuries, the first six months of college were spent on a liquid diet. Through that experience, he came to see the need for how important teeth are, and to appreciate how his dentist helped him. He desired to do the same for others.
He went on to receive a degree in Chemical Engineering at Iowa State University before attending the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. He has also received training on Aesthetic Dentistry at the University of Minnesota, and in Cosmetic Dentistry at the Pankey Institute. In 2009, he was noted as one of the top dentists in America by the Consumer Research Council. In both 2009 and 2010, he received the Best of Bismarck award in the Dentist Office category.

The best dentist I have been to. The shot for numbing did not even hurt. Very friendly and clean office. Highly recommend.

I used to have such fear and procrastination about going to the dentist. Dr. Johnson and his staff have changed that for me. I expect state-of-the-art equipment and technical expertise but for me a dental experience void of fear with a positive result requires more than that. Dr. Johnson's patient clear explanations of options and procedures, his confident knowledge and his kind demeanor gave me a calm confidence I never before had at the dentist. His technical expertise along with his artistic eye gave me a very positive result. Their Dental Savings Plan works great for me as well. Thank you Dr. Johnson and all your staff for creating a welcoming, joyful environment. I am so pleased and grateful. Katherine Henjum

After years of being afraid to smile, I setup appointment with Dr Johnson. We discussed my options and was able to schedule my procedure. I have been smiling ever since!

Teeth cleaning day!!! The staff at The Smile Center did a great job of making me comfortable, and explained the changes in the cleaning process due to Covid. Dr. Johnson always communicates what he is doing and does a great job of really thinking thru the best options of dental care.

Dr.J is a nice and friendly dentist all tho I had a Root Canal done by him 3 years ago and developed a twitch in my face the very next day. When I went in for my recheck I told him about my face twitch..... He automatically said it was stress related.. which I know for a fact stress makes my heart weird not my face. So I finally switched dentists got referred to a specialist for the root canal as they found an absess and had to redo the root canal. And it has been almost 1 week since the redo root canal and MY FACE IS TWITCH FREE!! Best feeling in the world!! It was aweful wondering if my face was going to twitch from day to day especially when I deal with the public for my job!

The staff is very nice however coming in with an issue, Dr. Johnson makes you feel as though you are making it up or that you don't know what you're talking about. I had a root canal plus crown and had issues afterwards, rather then taking an X-ray to see what could be the issue he just sanded down my other GOOD tooth so that my bite would be less. Come to find out I had an infection in my tooth that he had performed the root canal on. Never once did he take an X-Ray after my complaint and now I had an upper GOOD tooth that was sanded down for no reason. If I hadn't followed my instincts and gotten a second option I'd still have the infection in my tooth and possibly lost the tooth in the long run. He is very cocky and each time I went in with a question on the tooth having issues I was treated as though I didn't know what I was talking about or that I just didn't know what tooth I was having issues with. I went to a specialist and they did 3D X-rays. There exact words were "There is def. room for improvement on this root canal".
